Running Bear by Johnny Preston
Running Bear
Capo:no capo
(chanting in background during verses)
[Verse 1]
A
On the banks of the river
D A
Stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
A
On the other side of the river
B7 E7
Stood his lovely Indian maid
A
Little White Dove was a-her name
D A
Such a lovely sight to see
A
But their tribes fought with each other
E7 A
So their love could never be
[Chorus]
D A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
E7 A
With a love big as the sky
D A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
E7 A
With a love that couldn't die
[Verse 2]
A
He couldn't swim the ragin' river
D A
'Cause the river was too wide
A
He couldn't reach Little White Dove
B7 E7
Waiting on the other side
A
In the moonlight he could see her
D A
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
A
Her little heart was beating faster
E7 A
Waiting for her Indian brave
[Chorus]
D A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
E7 A
With a love big as the sky
D A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
E7 A
With a love that couldn't die(chorus)
[Verse 3]
A
Running Bear dove in the river
D A
Little White Dove did the same
A
And they swam out to each other
B7 E7
Through the swirling stream they came
A
As their hands touched and their lips met
D A
The ragin' river pulled them down
A
Now they'll always be together
E7 A
In that happy hunting ground
[Chorus]
D A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
E7 A
With a love big as the sky
D A
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
E7 A
With a love that couldn't die
